Product Description

The DK DK160 is a customizable 60% mechanical keyboard suited for users who want a compact layout with multiple connection options and extensive build personalization. It fits hobbyists who prefer to assemble their own keyboard with chosen switches and keycaps, and those needing wireless or wired use with reliable polling rates. Its design focuses on flexibility and a refined typing angle, rather than prebuilt convenience.

Key Features

  • Three connection modes: wired USB-C, Bluetooth 5.3, and 2.4 GHz wireless, offering versatile use across devices.
  • Programmable via VIA software, enabling custom keymaps and macros for tailored workflows.
  • Hotswap PCB supports plate-mounted switches, allowing easy switch changes without soldering.
  • Two build options: plate mount with silicone particles or PCB mount with silicone sleeves, affecting typing feel and sound dampening.
  • Includes dual 1200mAh batteries for wireless operation and a 1000Hz polling rate in wired and 2.4 GHz modes for responsive input.

Build Quality

  • Aluminum top case with Marblano anodization creates a dynamic light-reflecting surface, adding visual texture without compromising durability.
  • Bottom case options in brass or copper with matching weighted inserts enhance stability and typing heft.
  • Internal locking screw structure reduces bezel size, making the keyboard more compact without sacrificing rigidity.
  • Stainless steel accents with dual-finish PVD process add subtle detail to the front edge.

Typing Experience

  • 8° typing angle and 15.5mm front height support ergonomic hand positioning for extended use.
  • Silicone gaskets in mounting options help reduce vibrations and noise, improving acoustic comfort.
  • Plate mount stabilizers only, which may affect key feel depending on switch and keycap choice.

Compatibility and Customization

  • Available in three layouts: WK, WKL, and HHKB style, all compact without a full backspace key.
  • Supports US QWERTY logical layout and is compatible with Windows systems.
  • Does not include switches or keycaps, requiring users to source these separately.

Trade-offs

  • Being a barebones kit, it demands assembly and additional purchases, which may not suit users seeking a ready-to-use keyboard.
  • No full backspace layout option limits preference for traditional ANSI layouts.
  • Only plate mount stabilizers are supported, restricting compatibility with PCB mount stabilizers.
  • Backlighting is not included, so it may be less suitable for low-light environments.
